Chapter 54: The Assassins
"I ...... I don't know. Jin Laosan had a bitter face and looked aggrieved, "I really don't know why he asked me to deal with you, he just said, let me teach you a lesson." ”
"Let me ask you, which Lord Zhang?" Xu Wen asked in a deep voice.
"Yes...... It is Lord Zhang, the doorman of Gongzi Cheng's Mansion, and Lord Zhang Chi, who manages the civil affairs of Xianyang City! Jin Laosan felt that he had carried himself home today, and he actually knelt down for a group of beggars, but if he didn't kneel, he would have to become crippled.
"The doorman of the Cheng Gongzi's mansion?" Xu Wen narrowed his eyes, and there was indeed a person named Zhang Chi in the Cheng Mansion. This Zhang Chi has used Cheng Chan many times to loot the people's fat and ointment, and he has the support of Cheng Chan behind him, and he has done all kinds of evil. This is a famous villain in Xianyang City. Behind many rich and noble families is this Zhang Chi is backing.
"Yes, yes." Jin Laosan nodded, gritted his teeth, he swore that after leaving, Xu Wen must pay the price.
Huzi looked at Xu Wen with a solemn face, he was still afraid. Although he has Xu Wen's support, who is Cheng Chan? That was the younger brother of King Qin, one of the original princes of Qin. Such a big man is not something he can offend.
Even the beggars became terrified. They are not Xu Wen, and they don't have enough confidence to compete with such a big man.
A man said with some fear: "Brother Xu, or let him go." ”
Xu Wen thought about it and understood what was going on. He has no grievances or hatred with Cheng Chan, and he doesn't know this Zhang Chi. But Chen Yin is in Cheng Yin's house, so the mastermind behind it must be that Chen Yin. He didn't want to have a conflict with Chen Yin, after all, Chen Yin knew Zhao Ping. Or I know Zhao Ping's uncle.
And it is a very unwise choice to offend King Qin's younger brother now.
He doesn't want to get into trouble, but he's not afraid of trouble either.
"Okay, let's go, go back and tell Master Zhang that I have no grievances with him, and I don't want to have any entanglements with him. I hope he doesn't bother me again. Of course, if he continues to trouble me, then don't blame me for being rude. Xu Wenbra said with confidence. In fact, he knew that those people would continue to trouble him.
Even if that Zhang Chi endured this breath, Chen Yin would definitely not give up.
Jin Laosan nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely tell Master Zhang." With that, he got up and hurried away.
When he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned around and pointed at Xu Wen and Huzi, and scolded, "You wait for me, Lao Tzu must kill you without a whole body!" He glared at Xu Wen and Huzi viciously, and then left with a puff of smoke.
Huzi's face was solemn, and he looked at Xu Wen worriedly, "Brother Xu, what should I do, he is the person of Cheng Gongzi." ”
"It's not a son, at most it's a dog under Zhang Chi's hands." Xu Wen said in a deep voice: "Don't take the initiative to find trouble with him, if he comes to find your trouble, then you don't have to be polite to him." Of course, if you can, you can dodge, and now you are no match for them. ”
Huzi nodded.
Xu Wen continued: "It's not good to stay here for a long time, pack up all the food and take it away, go to my side to eat." As he spoke, Li Zhutou walked in, holding a big knife in his hand.
He looked at Xu Wen and said, "Young Master Xu, that Jin Laosan, but the people under Master Zhang Chizhang, I can't help you much, next, you have to be careful." ”
"Li Zhutou, where is this, if it weren't for Li Zhutou just now, I guess I would have been beaten by that Jin Laosan. Next, Li Zhutou can rest assured, I will take care of it. Xu Wen smiled and continued: "Why don't you go to my place for two drinks together?" ”
Li Zhutou shook his head, as if he didn't want to set himself on fire, "No, let's do it another day, there is still something going on inside the yamen." ”
Xu Wen looked at Huzi, "Huzi, two days ago, I asked you to investigate, how was it?" ”
Huzi immediately stood up and said, "I was about to tell you, Brother Xu." ”
"This is not the place to talk, let's change places." Xu Wen said, and the group came to an alley outside the inn.
Huzi looked left and right, and whispered to Li Zhutou: "In the newly opened Humen Inn, a group of new guys have been recruited, and those guys are all from Zhao Guo, if nothing else, they are those assassins!" ”
"Really!" Li Zhutou was shocked, "I didn't expect this group of assassins to actually take a foothold in Xianyang City!" Xu Gongzi, thank you this time, without further ado, I have to bring people over to arrest those people immediately! ”
"Okay, Li Zhutou be careful, tell me if you need anything."
Li Zhutou left with a group of servants.
After that, Xu Wen asked Huzi to leave with something to eat, but because something suddenly happened to the beggar gang, Huzi didn't go back to the inn with Xu Wen and left with someone.
Xu Wen returned to the inn alone. As soon as I entered, a few guests came.
"Man, a bowl of noodles and more pepper for each person."
……
On this side, Li Zhutou came to the Humen Inn with more than 30 catchers, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Go in and arrest people for me!" ”
More than 30 officials drew their broadswords and rushed in.
After a while, the sound of ping-pong fighting sounded inside.
The sound of swords clashing, and the screams of people, the cries of pain.
After a while, there was no movement inside. A servant ran out and reported respectfully, "Your Excellency, there are eleven people inside, seven people have been arrested, three people have died, and one ...... Ran away from the stables. ”
"Give me chase now! Block the four city gates, and don't let any of them go! Li Zhutou was carrying a big knife in his hand, and he was happy in his heart. These people are all important criminals of the imperial court, and any one of them is worth 100 gold, and now they are all in a net, and he has designated them as officials.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wen really helped him so much.
He sighed in his heart and decided that he must have a good relationship with Xu Wen, so that if he encounters this kind of thing in the future, he can also ask Xu Wen to help.
……
At night, Xianyang City is brightly lit.
At the door of the inn, there was a sound of rattling footsteps.
Xiao Qing, who was settling accounts, raised her head and looked out. A group of depressed people with torches in their hands quickly walked through the doorway.
Xu Wen sat in the inn and thought about what to do next, and when he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and saw that Li Zhutou was passing by in a hurry.
Xu Wen walked out and shouted, "Li catches the head!" ”
Li Zhutou stopped, looked at Xu Wen, and waved his hand to the officials walking beside him, "Okay, you go first." ”
"What's the matter, Li Zhutou, what's wrong?" Xu Wen walked over and asked suspiciously, "Have you caught those assassins?" ”
Li Zhutou nodded, and said very excitedly: "I have caught them all, and I have also caught their heads, this time, Xu Gongzi has helped me a lot." ”
